Mashup Score: 10Impact of deceased organ donor marijuana use on donor culture positivity and solid organ transplant recipient outcomes - 3 month(s) ago
With the increasing prevalence of marijuana use in the U.S., many deceased organ donors have a history of marijuana use, raising concerns about infectious risks to transplant recipients. We performed a multicenter retrospective cohort study in which exposed donors were those with recent marijuana use (in the prior 12 months) and unexposed donors were those with no recent marijuana use. Primary outcomes included (1) positive donor cultures for bacteria or fungi, (2) recipient infection due to bacteria or fungi within 3 months post-transplant, and (3) recipient graft failure or death within 12 months post-transplant.

Mashup Score: 0
We found that methenamine is well tolerated and is useful in reducing UTI, antibiotic prescriptions, and hospitalization in RTR with recurrent UTI. Larger prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Objective To test and compare the efficacy of methenamine hippurate for prevention of recurrent urinary tract infections with the current standard prophylaxis of daily low dose antibiotics. Design Multicentre, open label, randomised, non-inferiority trial. Setting Eight centres in the UK, recruiting from June 2016 to June 2018. Participants Women aged ≥18 years with recurrent urinary tract infections, requiring prophylactic treatment. Interventions Random assignment (1:1, using permuted blocks of variable length via a web based system) to receive antibiotic prophylaxis or methenamine hippurate for 12 months. Treatment allocation was not masked and crossover between arms was allowed. Main outcome measure Absolute difference in incidence of symptomatic, antibiotic treated, urinary tract infections during treatment. A patient and public involvement group predefined the non-inferiority margin as one episode of urinary tract infection per person year. Analyses performed in a modified intent
